Death of John Gillies, Sr.

The hand of Death has again been busy in our midst, the call this time coming to John Gillies, senior, another pioneer of the district and a representative farmer who was well and favorably known over a wide section of the country. Of a strong, vigorous constitution and well preserved for a man in his 77th year the deceased had known but little sickness until a few weeks previous to the dissolution; and bore his suffering with Christian fortitude, being conscious almost to the last. He was born in K?o, Scotland, coming to Canada about the year 1856, just a little over half century ago. On his way to Hamilton he had a ticket for the ill-fated tram that ?ged into the Desjardines Canal, but fortunately missed it, following on the next train. He first settled in Galt and two years later moved to Berlin. After spending about three years in the town, he took up farming near Galt and afterwards in Blenheim, retiring to Ayr some …?... progressive farmer, a good neighbor and a prominent churchman, being a trustee in Stanley st. congregation for many years. In politics he was a staunch Reformer. In 1863 He married Jane Bell of Galt, who together with a family of five sons and one daughter, survives. The family comprises Mrs. Thos. H. Hall, and A.C. Gillies, Ayr; Thomas, John and William in South Dumfries, and Samuel in Pittsburg, Pa. The funeral on Monday afternoon to Ayr cemetery was quite largely attended, the pall bearers being Messrs. Wm. Mitchell and Geo Scott (Galt), Jesse Clemens (New Dundee), Wm. Richmond, Eph Dance, and C.K. Morton. The serves were conducted jointly by Rev. Messrs. Thomson and ?
